Intex Easy Set Pool 15 x 48 Set Up & Ground Prep Install Step By Step

We finally set up our Intex Easy Set Pool! We had to prep the ground by leveling it first before installing the pool with the Krystal Clear Filter and filling it with water. This pool is so easy to set up once you've gotten the ground levelled, you just have to blow up the pool ring, set up the filter pump then wait for the pool to fill up! I covered the entire installation process in this video step by step, including a timelapse of the pool filling at 400 times the speed.

Thank you for posting this! My husband and I just bought our first house, and since it’s too late in the year to have a pool put in professionally, we went with this instead. Our directions and manuals were useless because the parts and pieces were so different than what they sent us. The ground leveling was the hardest as we had to dig a couple of inches into the ground. So far, the sand and chemicals and test kit were the expensive parts. So far, we are $1800 in!🫠😅

@TheNiftyNester Жыл бұрын

You're welcome and thank you! We are using it right now for the second summer in a row and it's held up great. I've added a skimmer basket and plunger valves, I shared those videos on here as well, and I just upgraded the pump which I'm getting ready to share on here. It works fine with everything it comes with but I've discovered those few things just make it a little easier to maintain. I'm planning on using it again next year as well. I didn't expect it to hold up this well, being as cheap as it was.

@chelseegful Ай бұрын

Hey how do you maintain it??? Like chemicals and amounts of chemicals. I just set up the same one, but I've never had a pool or learned how to etc. Please let me know, I want to keep it safe

@hannahgroover6914 2 жыл бұрын

Super helpful! We plan on getting the same size pool so this helped a TON. What type of garden edging did you use?

@TheNiftyNester 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I can't remember the exact name of the edging but I can tell you I bought it at Home Depot. It's these metal pieces that are maybe 3 inches tall, they come with a stake on each end that you can snap off and use to secure the edging in to the ground. They also fit together so you can join them to make a longer edge and they have corner stakes to attach at the corners. I did end up needing to buy extra stakes to secure the entire thing. I believe we went with these for a couple reasons, one was because they are just a few inches longer than the width of the pool so we didn't have to make any adjustments to the length. Our pool fit perfectly, leaving a couple inches on each side. I hope that helps, good luck with your new pool! I just finished setting mine back up for its second summer and it's held up great.

Hi, My husband and I are thinking about getting one of these pools next Spring( since it's already September.) We're doing our research now since we have some time. I recently found your videos and had a question. Have you had any issues having sand underneath your pool? It seems like some people really frown upon sand due to possible erosion and movement. Thank You

@TheNiftyNester Жыл бұрын

Hi! I personally haven't had any problems with using sand. I was a little lazy this year and didn't spend much time smoothing it back out but it was still fairly level from last year and the pool went back up without any issues. Since we put up a barrier and lined the ground we haven't really had any erosion or run off of the sand. I think it just comes down to how you prep your area. I hope that helps!

@josephmcconnell5869 Жыл бұрын

I've been getting alot of rain so do you know what is to much water level and what's the best way to lower it?

@TheNiftyNester Жыл бұрын

I feel your pain, I've been dealing with that this summer as well. We've had so many storms hit us. You want the water line to stay under the inflated ring. If it comes up above the bottom of that ring, it's too high. The pool has a drain hole that's plugged on the bottom of the side of the pool. It should've come with an attachment that screws into a hose and sticks into that drain hole. You can use that to drain water out into your storm drain. If you do it that way, just keep an eye on it. It drains fast, and you'll want to pull out that hose and close the plug before you lose too much water. The other option is to just let water drain out of the pump into your yard for a minute until the water level is low enough. If you aren't worried about a wet yard, that's an easy way to get the water level down a little and quickly.

@josephmcconnell5869 Жыл бұрын

@TheNiftyNester I can't thank you enough for that quick and very thorough response!! I think letting it out through the pump is probably the better way so I can easily keep an eye on it!! Thanks again!!

@LisaSmithLS Жыл бұрын

How many inches of sand did you end up using? Absolutely everything I've researched says to not add sand when leveling the ground. Every instruction I find says that with the easy set inflatable pools, building up with sand not recommended. How did it turn out for you? Thanks!

The pump? I know I've seen them on Amazon, I would imagine that Walmart and most other big box stores probably sell it as well (if not in stores then at least online). I believe I linked the pump from Amazon in the description box as well if that helps.

Oh no! It sounds like you have a leak in the top ring... I haven't had to deal with that but there are a lot of videos on KZfaq showing how to find the leak. Your pool should've come with a patch big enough to fix at least one small hole. I hope you're able to find and fix it!

My girlfriend says none of this is necessary, just throw it on the lawn and fill it, and we don't have the tarp to put on the ground. Should be fine. I'm sure it'll be fine only 500$ wasted
